Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Full Screen Edition) (Harry Potter 4)

It's about time. No longer did the filmmakers feel the need to tone down some of the scarier moments and themes. Finally, we have a HP movie that (at least somewhat closely,) captures the darkness, as well as humor, of the book. Prisoner of Azkaban made an effort to do this, but Goblet of Fire succedes fully.Goblet of Fire is paced very well. It takes off almost instantly and the pacing rarely lets up. But unlike Prisoner of Azkaban, where important plot points were sped through (to the confusion of non-readers,) Goblet of Fire at least makes sure most loose ends are tied up. From the beginning, the movie seems epic. The music, by Patrick Doyle, is great, and, in my opinion, and improvement on John Williams's music. The music when they ride the portkey is excellent, for example, and Doyle's new HP theme, (that plays a couple of times during the movie, most notably when Harry sees the ghosts of his parents,) is excellent. Williams fans don't need to worry, though; his HP theme remains in the opening scene and at the start of the credits.Special effects have improved all around, and some scenes, like the Quidditch World Cup, the Portkey scene, the 2nd task, Priori Incantatem....these scenes are amazing. And after basically having had his character ruined in Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron is FINALLY more than just "comic relief." And Rupert Grint shows that he can actually act, rather than the mugging for the camera he did in the past 2 movies. Dan Radcliffe's performance as Harry has also improved, and while there's still some occasional issues, overall, he's completely captured the essence of the character. Emma Watson as Hermione....she's good in some scenes more than others. At times, she seemed to be overacting a little bit. Yet, in other scenes she did a great job. It's really hard to say for sure. Hopefully her performance will be a bit more even in Order of the Phoenix.I'm also glad to see that they didn't squeeze a happy ending out of this movie. Yeah, the ending's still slightly more happy than the book's, but it's more of an "uplifting" happy than the "cheesy" happy that was used in the previous 2 movies. I said this with Prisoner of Azkaban, and I guess I'm saying it again with Goblet of Fire; the HP series is heading in the right direction. Can't wait for Order of the Phoenix.My only problems with this movie are minor. Dumbledore's personality....I didn't have as much of a problem as most people apparently did, but the scene in the trophy room was way over the top. Dumbledore even looked INSANE in some shots. (Look at his face in the close-up after Moody explains that "The goblet of fire is an exceptionally magical object")Also, each of the tasks, (as well as the Quidditch World Cup scene and Priori Incantatem,) literally don't last 1 second longer than they had to. ...but I think that some, especially Priori Incantatem, (I really doubt I'm spelling that right,) could have lasted for at least another minute or two.Anyway, overall, it's an excellent movie. The HP movie series has finally grown up. I can't wait to see what they'll do with the next movie....as for the DVD features...it's a bit disappointing this time around. This series has never really had good DVD's. Sorcerer's Stone was a joke. Chamber of Secrets was an improvement. Prisoner of Azkaban was a bigger improvement, although the interviews were ruined by the Shrunken Head.Goblet of Fire, though, (DVD features-wise) is better than the first 2 movies but behind PoA. While GoF has a ton of "making of" stuff dealing with special effects, it's missing the "making of the movie" itself! Director Mike Newell doesn't get interviewed, (although he briefly makes some comments) none of the adult cast is interviewed, and Steve Kloves (screenwriter) and JK Rowling are completely absent. So the special features are mostly special-effects related. Although even these aren't done particularly well. They cover the 3 tasks, Voldemort, and the Yule Ball, but dont feature Priori Incantatem, the Quidditch World Cup, (or the attacks there,) the portkey, or anything about Moody's magical eye or the Pensieve.Although there ARE some worthwhile features. The "Reflections on the 4th film" is a great feature, and the feature where you watch a typical day on the set for each of the 3 champions is interesting, (although again, I wish more focus was put on how they actually SHOT the scenes and less on what the studio looks like.) Plus, the deleted scenes were worth a look, even though it's clear why most of them are cut. (Only 2 of them really seem like they should have been left in; the scene where Harry, Ron, and Hermione talk in the common room before Harry visits Dumbledore, and the scene where Harry steps outside at the Yule Ball.) And, finally, they have the lame teaser trailer. (No Theatrical trailer...why...I don't know.)Anyway, great movie, bland DVD. Someone's really gotta step it up in the DVD department on the next movie. For a movie that's grossed over 290 million domestically, the DVD features here are surprisingly uninspired. And make sure you get the "2-Disc Special Edition" DVD, or you get no special features at all.

I was happy to find this. It completes my Harry Potter series on DVD

Esta es un parte importante de la saga creada por JK Rowling, para muchos fue una verdadera reproducci?n del libro pero aun as? se qued? corto por que falto muchas cosas que ser?n importantes para la siguiente secuela. Pero no podemos negar que es una verdadera fantas?a echa verdad. Espero que con la misma genialidad que fue creada esta secuela se nos permita mirar la siguiente, que contiene un excelente drama. Espero que para cuando se acabe de filmar las pel?culas no tengamos que ver caras nuevas ya que el tiempo que toma entre pel?cula y pel?culas, es muy largo y esto puede ocasionar un cambio (que a nadie le gustar?a).Vemos luchar a nuestro amigo Potter con grandes aventuras, que van desde Dragones, Sirenas y Mort?fagos. Harry es escogido sorprendentemente como participante del torneo de los 3 magos y con una inesperada selecci?n que por primera vez despu?s de muchos a?os de tradici?n se cambia a 4 participantes, veremos unas caras nuevas que le pondr? al drama de la pel?cula una nueva faceta ya que habr? una mezcla de locuras, amor y baile. Empezamos con el campeonato mundial de quidich el deporte favorito de Harry. El cual es interrumpido por un ataque de desconocidos donde se logra divisar la marca obscura, carta de presentaci?n del Lord Voldemort. Unas concursantes del torneo Francesas, unos competidores Rusos, toda una mezcla de nuevas aventuras se mezclan en esta fascinante pel?cula. Se las recomiendo es muy buena la pel?cula.This is a you leaves important of the saga created by JK Rowling, for many it was a true playback of the book but even so it was short per that lacking many things that they will be important for the following sequel. But we cannot deny that you is a true fantasy you tosses truth. I hope with the same brilliant idea that this sequel was created we are allowed to look at the following one that contains an excellent drama. I wait that you stops when you has just filmed the movies we don't have to see expensive new since the time that takes between movie and movies, is very long and this can cause a change (that anybody would like Iyou).We see fight to our friend Potter with big adventures that they go from Dragons, Sirens and Mort?fagos. Harry is chosen surprisingly as participant of the tournament of the 3 magicians and with an unexpected selection that for the first time after many years of tradition it is changed to 4 participants, we will see some new faces that you will put to the drama of the movie a new facet since there will be a mixture of madness, love and dance. We begin with the world championship of quidich Harry's favorite sport. Which is interrupted by an attack of unknown where you is possible to sight the dark mark, letter of presentation of the Lord Voldemort. Some contestants of the French tournament, some Russian competitors, an entire mixture of new ventures they mix in this fascinating movie. I recommend them to him you is very good the movie.

Information on Amazon is a bit erratic about the actual content, so for anyone wondering, this is a three disc set - the 4k UHD, the movie on Blu-ray, and a bonus disc of extras.
